Stamping with kids / how to make a mini inkpad

StampingWithKids   wesens-art.blogspot.com
My granddaughter loves to stamp! 
But most of the inkpads are so big that she has more ink on her fingers than on the stamp. 
And we all know that it isn't easy to remove it. 
This is my solution for the small stamps I've made for her! 
What you need: 
plastic shot glasses (2 cl)
(one for each stamp and one for each color)
a sponge 
cutting knife 
double sided tape 
scissors 
small stamps 
Meine Enkelin liebt es zu Stempeln! 
Aber die meisten Stempelkissen sind so groß, dass sie mehr Farbe an den Fingern als auf dem Stempel hat. 
Und wir wissen alle, wie schwer die wieder ab geht. 
Dies ist meine Lösung für die kleinen Stempel, die ich für sie gemacht habe! 
Was man braucht: 
Schnapsgläser aus Kunststoff (2 cl) 
(eins für jeden Stempel und eins für jede Farbe) 
einen Schwamm 
Cuttermesser 
doppelseitiges Klebeband 
Schere 
kleine Stempel

Cut the sponge with the cutting knife. 
Den Schwamm mit Cuttermesser schneiden.

 Put pieces of the double sided tape to the bottom outside of the shot glasses to fix the stamps. And put pieces of the double sided tape to the bottom inside of the shot glasses to fix the sponge pieces. 
Klebestreifen auf die Böden außen an den Schnapsgläsern kleben, um die Stempel zu befestigen. Und Klebestreifen auf die Böden innen an die Schnapsgläser kleben, um die Schwammstücke zu befestigen.

Now it's time to put a few drops (not too much) of color onto the sponges. Fill a few drops of water into the shot glass with the thicker sponge.
You can use water colors, finger paints or what you want. 
(I've used finger paints.) 
Jetzt ist es Zeit, ein paar Tropfen (nicht zu viel) Farbe auf die Schwämmchen zu geben. In das Glas mit dem dickeren Schwamm ein paar Tropfen Wasser geben.
Man kann Wasserfarben, Fingerfarben oder was man möchte verwenden. 
(Ich habe Fingerfarben benutzt.)

Stuck the shot glass with the stamp into the color. You don't need to press, just turn the glass with the stamp. 
Das Schnapsglas mit dem Stempel in die Farbe stecken. Man braucht nicht zu drücken, einfach das Glas mit dem Stempel etwas drehen.

Now you can stamp.
The color also doesn't run out if the shot glass tips over! 
Nun kann man stempeln. 
Die Farbe läuft auch nicht aus, wenn das Glas umkippt!

Stuck the shot glass with the stamp into the glass with the watered sponge to clean the stamp. 
Um den Stempel zu reinigen steckt man ihn in das Schnapsglas mit dem gewässerten Schwamm.

Stuck the shot glasses into each other for storage. 
First the shot glasses with the color and over them the shot glasses with the stamps. The shot glass with the watered sponge to the top. 
Die Gläser zur Aufbewahrung ineinander stecken. 
Erst die Glässer mit der Farbe, darüber die mit den Stempeln und nach oben das Schnapsglas mit dem gewässerten Schwamm.

  4. What a really great idea, very clever really, and would certainly make it easy for lil ones
    to do. I will have to remember this in a few years. My Grandaughter is only 18 mos. now,
    but this will come in handy later on for us.
    Thanks for sharing this,
    Blessings, Nellie

  5. Another good ink pad material - I don't know if you have them where you live or not - is those pieces of felt with sticky backs that you put under furniture feet and such to keep from scratching the floor. They're nice because they aren't overly "squishy."
